Letters .Patent No. 79,737, dated July 7, 1868;

IMPROVED GLASSWARE-MOULDS.

TOALL WHO IT MAY GONCERN:

Be it known that I, HIRAM DILLAWAY, of Sandwich, intlie county of Barnstable, and StateV of Massachw setts, have invented an Improvement in Glassware-Moulds; and I do hereby declare that the following, taken in connection with the drawings which Vaccompany and form part of this specification, is a description ofnly invention suiiicient to enable those skilled in the art to practise it. i

This invention has special reference to means of supplying water to they bodies of such glassware-moulds as openin sections or parts to deliver theware moulded therein. l

Figure 1 of the drawing shows, in plan, a sectional mould-body, supplied with means for cooling each section of the body, in accordance with my invention, and

Figure 2 is a section allelevation of the same.

I n an application for United States Letters Patent made by me, of even date herewith, I have set forth, as my invention, the combination, with the b o'ldy of a glassware-mould, of a water-reservoir, so arranged as to be moved with the mould-body, so as to keep up a supply of water from the reservoir tothe body, without 'making and breaking the. connection at each impression received inuthe mould.

Said invention is the foundationpn which my improvements herein described are based, theycon'sisting in such anV arrangement andeombination of parts as enables me, through a connection formed by the hinges on which the sections move, to supplyvtbem all,or more than one ci them, from one reservoir, if desired.

v And my invention also consists in the combination, with separate sections of a sectional glassware-mould, 4

of separate water-reservoirs. y i

The sectional mould-body Vshown in' the-drawings is one for making plain-handled mugs, the body being made in three parts or sections, a. bottom section, a, and two side sections, b e. The. side sections are hinged upon a hinge-pin, d, and embrace thebottom sectioiuns shown, the hottox section being made hollow, in any convenient way, and connected by .n.pipe, e, to the hinge-pin d, which the `end of Asaid pipe encompasses, as shown in iig, 2. .Each side section is provided with a handle-tang,f, by which the'mouldis opened and closed, there beingthe locking-piu gfandvlockingears h, usual in moulds, for holding the parts together.

On each section of the-mould isfa hook-piece, z', which acts -onthe pipej, to keep the bottom a of the mould in a central position relative to the side sections'b c, when they arejfully opened; the pipe j also serving to allow'such steam to escapera's may be formed in the water-space made in the bottom., a,. Y v n On each-or either tag f is ixcd awater-reservoir,7c, preferably so as t0 be removable, if desired, there beinga coupling-joint, Z, in the waterfconveying'pipe, whichpipe is provided-with a stop-cock,'m, designed to regulate the ilow of wat-er from the reservoir-k to the'side sections of the mould.

TheVwatcr-passages in the side sections are formedby drilling upper 'and lower horizontal holes in the v direction most clearly shown in fig- 1, said vho'lcsboing markcdnfand by vertical holes-.connecting the hori- `zontal holes, the vertical holes being marked o, all the holes beingr stopped with plugs at 4the places where the i drill entered'. i

The water-pipe from either reservoir connects witha hole, marked p, communicatingwith thevwater-passa'ges formed in the sections c I), therebeingir an escape-pipe, g, for-egress oi' steam or hot water from each side section.

To supply water tothe bottom, a, `from either roscrvoirj', or to supply both the'bottom, a, and both side sections from one reservoir, thehinge-pin is made to perform -the functions of a water-conveyor, and is bored vertically in its axial 1ine,'as seenl in iig. 2, the borebeing Vstopped or plugged at each end.

In the side sections are drilled passa-des, (see 1,) marked s, which communicate with grooves or` scores turned around the hingc-pin, at the places where the passages s emerge into the hinge-pin hole', and in the l1i nge-pin, atth'c scores, lateral holes are drilled, which communicate with the vertical bore of said pin.

It will be seen that, with but one reservoir, water can bc supplied to both sections b c, in which ease it will be advisable to stop thc vent q of the section bearing the reservoir, thus causing a How through the entire circuit from the reservoir tothe open vent. v i i At the lower part of the hinge-pin, and opposite the pipe e, a score is turned in the hinge-pin, so that communication is always had from the vertical bore of said piu with the pipe e', by means of a. short lateral bore from said groove into the vertical `bore ofthe hinge-pin; and it will be s'een that`the bottom, a, can be supplied withwater from eitheroi both reservoirs, and that, if both of the vents are stopped, vent willbe found through pipe j, thus'keepinga circulation of water throughout all the sections of the body of themould, from areservoir or reservoirs which are mounted on the bodyand always move with it, so that the water-connection is not made and broken at each impression taken.

I claim a sectional glassware-mould body, when constructed with a hollow hinge-pin, so that water can ow from one section to another through said pin, substantially as desoribedi- Also, in combination with the bottom and'side sections of a mould-body, the hooks z', arranged to operate substantially as described.
